Dude's Must See Products for August 2022

Make your Sharpies look as sharp as they write with the Dango Permanent Marker, a new hard shell for your inky implements from Dango Products' Pen and Capsule collection. CNC machined from 6061 aerospace grade aluminum and stainless steel, the Dango Permanent Marker adds a "robust and substantial grip," tethering points for clipping and dangling, a box cutter, and a slick industrial aesthetic to the humble Sharpie.

This Human Face Baseball Hat is ready to play ball...with anyone who thinks they can look it in the eye without shuddering. Yeeks. Every time I glance at Sabri Tunca's handmade creep fest, I have to shake it off like a nervous dog. Who'd have thought 100% natural merino wool felt could be so disarming?

If you want a smart workstation with a futuristic look, in-desk display, a full top surface of wireless charging, power outlets galore, and nary a cable in sight, I think you're beginning to see the Lumina. The Lumina Desk is a forthcoming workstation designed to be your "ultimate workspace for productivity." Or just, like, a really cool setup for gaming and dicking around on the internet.

A Crotch Staring Cat with swappable crotch parts? Being a reluctant, yet attentive, cat owner, I can say this toy from Chinese cartoonist QianLi Ma is not based on real life. At least not in my experience. Now a Crotch Licking Cat with swappable crotch parts, that toy would be one I'd believe.

Not that a toy has to be believable but...think of the elevated creative possibilities of an orange tabby licking his crotch. The Crotch Staring Cat comes with interchangeable testicle, mushroom, flower, and lipstick crotches. Cute. But a Crotch Licking Cat could include testicle, ice cream cone, lollipop, and George Costanza wedding invitation envelope crotches!

I can't tell exactly how giant Alfred the Giant Crochet Octopus is, but if the evidence in the image gallery above is any indication, he appears to be the equivalent of 1 x standard lady who has not yet mastered the art of photographic lighting, camera positioning, or the selfie.

Alfred's adoption listing (i.e., Etsy shop So Wool So Cool) lists him just as available in sizes Small, Medium, and XXL, the latter the only real option, in my opinion. I mean, why spend a wad of cash on a crochet octopus if it isn't big enough to wow your friends, spoon at night, and possibly star alongside you in a new TikTok video series that makes people wonder if you're having relations with a crochet octopus like we all wondered if that dude from My Octopus Teacher was having relations with a real octopus?

Fishing. Now that's another skill I don't have and would...not be inclined to learn. Don't get me wrong, these Daggerfish Handreels for backpack fishing look like great designs, and will definitely keep an angler's trekking load light, plus fit neatly into preppers' survival kits. I'm not knocking or downplaying them in any way. It's just, looking at a nifty handcrafted fishing kit that combines a rod, reel, and tackle box into a 6" tube with a coupla corks on the ends reminds me I have no clue how to use it.

A little floating fire with a bioethanol flame blazing from a stone center. That sounds...well, it actually sounds about as safe as candles, incense, and tabletop fireplaces. And since the Myconos Levitating Firestone is appealing to the same demographic of yoga people, meditation people, and dudes seeking gifts for their girlfriends, I guess I don't have any more effusive cynical remarks about how it will probably burn your house down than I do for any of those other open-flame mindfulness accessories and pieces of home decor.

OMORPHO weighted sports and fitness clothing won't just omorpho you into a whole new level of athlete, or human with a hot, ripped body. But the line of "MicroLoad"-enhanced tops and bottoms could give you an edge as you work your ass off to achieve those goals yourself.

OMORPHO MicroLoads are small spheres of weight evenly distributed across key areas of OMORPHO activewear and, in turn, your body. The weights are heavy enough to increase the challenge to your body as you perform various sports and fitness activities, but light and unobtrusive enough that you can still move freely and naturally, with almost the same speed and intensity.

I brake for dicks. No wait, you brake for dicks. At least once I've secured a couple of Dick Brake Light Prank Decals onto those wee red covers on the back of your car. And by you, I mean my friend Cornelius, because he is my favorite dude to gag...especially with a dick...and furthermore, I would never do such a thing to you.
